Starmer Apologizes to Epstein Victims Over Mandelson Appointment

• British Prime Minister Keir Starmer apologized to Jeffrey Epstein's victims for appointing Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington.
• Starmer faced criticism after documents suggested Mandelson, then UK business secretary, leaked sensitive government policy discussions to Epstein.
• Starmer removed Mandelson from the ambassadorial post last September due to concerns about his friendship with Epstein.
• He expressed regret for believing Mandelson's lies and pledged his government would ensure accountability.
• The apology comes amid growing anger from some Labour MPs, with calls for Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, to be removed, though government ministers defend McSweeney.
